8:00 a.m.

Cruise the whole Woodward Dream Cruise route.

10:00 a.m.

11:00 a.m.

Eat an early lunch at one of the restaurants on Woodward.

12:00 noon

Walk the midsection (roughly 13 Mile through Birmingham), checking out the parked cars as well as the ones on the avenue.

4:00 p.m.

Drive up to Pontiac and hang out for the rest of the afternoon.

5:30 p.m.

Go offsite for dinner.

7:00 p.m.

Head back to Woodward and park somewhere between 14 Mile and Duggan’s to watch the action as the sun sets.

8:30 p.m.

Leave the scene before Woodward is closed and everyone is forced home for the night.
